Live cigarette lighter socket again
Sorry ive searched for this and used "" and ++ etc but just can't find it. Wiggs used to have a post in this section on how to make lighter sockets permanent live but alas i can't find it. It's the one which shows which relay to pull out and bridge with wire. Any link to it please

without sounding thick i assume this is the fusebox behind the glove box where this relay is located.

They are each fused at 15 amps. They have a 50amp combined fusible link under the bonnet. Of course I would expect the run 45amp together through that jumper which is between the fuse sets.

How do you get to it, do you have to remove the glovebox?

Open the lower glovebox and push the retaining arms on buth sides downwards slightly and it will come open much further. Fuse panel is then on LHS.
